Benefits of physical activities and sports on health

People with insufficient physical activity have a 20% to 30% higher risk of death than those who are sufficiently active. Physical activity does not only keep you young and healthy. Under medical supervision, it helps to treat many diseases. Regular physical activity has been shown to help prevent and manage non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several cancers. It also helps prevent hypertension, maintain a healthy body weight and improve mental health, quality of life and well-being. Playing sports ensures healthy growth and development in young people.

The appointment is made for next December 31, last Saturday of the month for the 4th edition.
